MOLD FOR FORMING HANDLES FOR POTTERY-WARE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 671,415, dated April 2, 1901.

Application filed December 11,1900- Serial No. 39,5 I0. kLNo model.)

T on whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. DEIDRICK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at East Liverpool, in the county of O0- lumbiana and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Molds for Forming Handles for Pottery-Ware, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in molds for forming handles for pottery-ware, and has for one object to construct a mold whereby handles for cups and other vessels may be easily molded.

The invention has for its further object to constructa mold of this character that may be fitted together neatly and retained in proper position during the operation of molding.

The invention further aims to construct a mold that will be more durable than the present mold of this character and will retain its shape at all times.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specificatiomand wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of the female member of the mold, which is of elliptical shape. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the male member. Fig. at is a side View thereof. Fig. 5 is a side view of bothv members connected together. Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view thereof, partly broken away.

In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates the female member of the mold and comprises a band of metal formed in elliptical shape having inwardly-extending recessed lugs 2. The reference-numeral 3 indicates the male member, which is likewise provided with inwardly extending lugs 4:, that are adapted to be seated in the recesses of the lugs 2.

The elliptical sections 1 and 3 of the molds are formed of such width that the same will not warp or lose their shape without removing the plaster from the same. The recessed lugs of the opposite sections are fitted together in such a manner that adisplacement of the same laterally will be impossible.

By the matching of the sections or members with their edges engaging (see Figs. 5 and 6) it will be observed that a mold of considerable depth is provided, while the lugs projecting inwardly from the inner circumference of the sections or members, with the free ends of the lugs 4t abutting against the wall at the end of the lugs 2, together with the sides of the lugs 4, engaging the side walls of the lugs 2, absolutely prevents any lateral or longitudinal displacement of the sections or members.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved mold will be readily apparent from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A device of the character described comprising two substantially elliptical-shaped metal bands, the one provided on its inner circumference with inwardly-extending recessed lugs, and the other provided with inwardly-extending lugs which project below the lower edge of the band and are adapted to fit within the recessed lugs, said lugs on each band projecting toward each other from opposite sides of the inner circumference of the bands, substantially as described.

2. In molds for forming handles for pottery-ware, two substantially elliptical-shaped metal bands adapted to match with their edges together, one of said bands having recessed lugs projecting inwardly from opposite sides of the inner circumference of the band, and the other band having correspondingly-positioned lugs adapted to engage in the recessed lugs, substantially as described.

3. A two-part mold for forming handles for pottery-ware, comprising a male and a female member each consisting of a substantially elliptical-shaped band, the female member having recessed lugs projectinginwardly from its inner face, and the male member having lugs similarly positioned to the recessed lugs to engage therewith when the members are placed together, substantially as described.

4. A two-part mold for forming handles for pottery-ware, comprising a male and female member each consisting of a metal band, the female member having oppositely-disposed recessed lugs projecting toward each other from the inner face of the band, and the male member having similarly-positioned lugs to engage with the recessed lugs of the female member, substantially as described.

5. A two-part mold for the purpose specified, comprising a male and a female member each consisting of a band, said bands adapted. to match with their edges together, the female member having oppositely-disposed recessed lugs projecting toward each other from the inner circumference of the band, and the male members having similarly-positioned lugs to engage With the recessed lugs of the female member, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.

WILLIAM H. DEIDRIOK.
